I don’t think anyone would disagree on Monaco, the qualifying is what makes that track special these days.

I’ll take most proper tracks other than Azerbaijan.

We went to the F1 experience in Vegas today. We had a blast. Get have go karts, simulators, pit challenge, pit wall experience, hall of fame, lots of historical uniforms and cars, create your own helmet and car among other activities. The store was disappointing, but they have a great F1 store in the Venetian


It is well worth the money.

Yup, my favorite part of an F1 weekend, especially Monaco.

K-mag was in true DGAF form in the last 30 minutes. Put on a class.

Read an article about the results of the NASCAR road race today and kind of wish I had seen it.

I genuinely like watching them hustle those big cars on a road course.

The Nurburgring 24 has sold out for the first time in history... Max should demand a % of the gate

I had trouble wrapping my head around just how he is so much better than the entire field on those courses. I realize he had new tires, but some of those laps at the end he was gaining 3 seconds a lap on the leader just weaving in and around the field. Spotters were telling all their drivers to just stay the frick out of his way. Don't even try to contest

Sucks that Montreal isn’t this weekend.

When is Bathurst or something good happening again?

I actually thought this weekend was a bad look for NASCAR. SVG made up 30 seconds in the final 17 laps. Are him and Zilich the only drivers that can actually turn left and right?

24 hours of Nurburgring should be good. Looks like they have a cold front bringing rain, high winds, and maybe even snow. Unusually low temps for this time of year.

Hopefully, the worst of the weather holds off. I can't remember if it was 2 or 3 years ago, but fog rolled in and ruined the entire race. The ring is pretty strict about running in bad weather. Too many cars and not enough marshals to cover the entire track safely if visibility is limited.

I'm sure its clickbait, but I've seen a couple of stories pop up stating that Lewis Hamilton is going to announce his retirement rom F1 at Silverstone this year.

Doubt there is 0 chance being he has said he loves driving these Formula E shitboxes and is actually somewhat competitive.

Would have to give Lewis props if he did this.I don’t see him announcing his retirement half way thru the year tho, I think he wants the fanfare in every country. The big send off.

He's a beast, but he was also driving flat out on new tires while the guys he was running down were saving fuel on an alternate strategy. The 30 seconds in 17 laps is a little misleading.

He doesn't have it in him anymore, imo. I don't think it's from lack of desire, but rather age. It gets us all. He needs to move on and let a younger person rise up. I could say the same about Alonso, but since Aston is shite, it's not like Alonso is taking up a worthwhile seat.

Hamilton has a pretty sweet post-F1 gig lined up as a glorified Ferrari salesman. He gets to fly around the world a few times a year to drive the best Ferrari road cars in front of billionaire clients. It's a job that tons of people would do for free, yet he'll get millions for. There are worse jobs out there.

What we really need is for Apple to sign both Hamilton and Rosberg up to do a thing like Peyton and Eli did for Manningcast, but for F1. It'd be awesome to hear them fight over things happening during the race.
